On February 2, 2008,
Community Caregivers is hosting their third annual
Potter's Bowl fundraiser. This year will be structured a
bit differently. There will be two separate entry times:
4pm and 6pm. No early entries will be admitted. There
will be 100 tickets available for each sitting. Half the
food and selection of bowls will be reserved for each
sitting. For a $25 ticket, patrons are able to pick a
handcrafted pottery bowl, all donated by local New
Hampshire artists. There will be over twenty different
types of soup donated from local restaurants around the
Derry area as well as breads from Panera and desserts from
Super Suppers and local grocers. We will also be awarding
the best soups in two categories, people’s choice and
judge’s choice. Three celebrity judges have been selected
to attend. The world famous Red Star Twirlers will be
serving at the event. Musical entertainment provided by
Simply the Best Entertainment and a raffle of over 25
items donated from other New England artists and
craftsmen. Raffle items include oil paintings, acrylic
paintings, matted photography, watercolor, and handcrafted
jewelry, just to name a few! The value of all art donated
amounts to over $5,000.
The event is to be held at
First Parish Church UCC, at 47 East Derry Road in East
Derry, NH. It is an artistic event full of fun and lots
of great food to help support a local nonprofit
organization dedicated to serving the elderly and disabled
in our area. Tickets go fast for this popular event. To
purchase tickets to the event, please call Caregivers at
